PRS-W Vs MLS-W Match Prediction: The Women’s Big Bash League is the longest-running top-level franchise women’s cricket T20 tournament, as we are currently in its 11th season. Match 8 of the competition will feature two teams aiming to improve on their previous season’s performance.
The Perth Scorchers Women are former WBBL champions, winning the league in the 2020-21 season. However, last year, they finished out of the playoff spots in fifth. This time around, they have had a very topsy-turvy start to the competition. In their first game, they lost to the Sydney Sixers by 10 wickets, but followed it up with a victory over the Brisbane Heat. With two points, one win, one loss, and a poor net run rate, the Scorchers are fourth on the points table
On the other hand, the Melbourne Stars Women are one of only two teams to have never won the WBBL. In fact, it is one of the worst-performing teams in the league, making it to the playoffs only once in its history. They even finished at the bottom of the league last season. This year, their only match so far against the Adelaide Strikers was washed out. With one no result, one point, and a neutral strike rate in one match, the Stars are fifth on the points table.
The Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars WBBL Match 8 will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network on TV in India. It will be live-streamed on the JioHotstar app and website on mobiles, laptops, and other streaming devices.

The Karen Rolton Oval is a balanced pitch, providing healthy competition between batters and bowlers. At the start of an inning, with a fresh ball and a new pitch, the ball gets some decent pace and bounce, which might help the pacers in the powerplay but also allows batters to score some good runs. However, as the match goes on, the pitch cracks a bit, allowing spinners to come into play.
It is expected to rain in Adelaide on the afternoon of the match. The chances of the match getting washed out are not low with the high cloud coverage and rain probability. The temperatures will be in the mid-20s. The winds will be moderate, and so will be the humidity.
